She's got it a little more under control than that. Mostly because Diana made it clear that if she kept it up around him then she'd support Rama Khan taking full custody.
.... 4th wizard fight before Ahri'ahn?
Moral standards change, and with them the standards by which past civilisations are judged. But in some cases, there were some nations who just pissed off everyone around them and got their asses handed to them for it...
That's worrying. Him losing focus, or just some manner of dampening power?
It was powerful enough for its time, certainly. But he has access to better technology, not powered by the blood of forsaken children...
We can dislike something without hating it, and we can hate something while still tolerating it. Humans are complicated things, full of hypocrisy.
It's certainly hard to forget. But in this case, I think he wants to see if OL's thoughts on the matter have changed any.
Though it would have been a difficult fight, especially if her combat abilities scaled with the quality of her foes.
Yeah, Old Testament God and the Hebrews of the time didn't fuck around.
Because as far as he was concerned, their actions were normal... At the time.
I'm sure he's heartbroken about your opinion of him...
Simply freeing men's souls to follow their karma. The art of turning men into ghosts was a common thing in those times.
Even if he sometimes feels like he's having to yank people by the collar to get up and do it themselves...
Heh. A good demonstration that long lives do not always mean cultured lives. Or at least cultured by western enlightenment ideals.
Presumably leaving the element of the Morlocks for him to discover, I see. Though I imagine he'd equate them to the criminal and the obstructive.
True, always a bad idea to split a party, even one of two.
Ah, the joy of waiting for a safe chance to teleport to teammate...
It's entirely likely that she escaped during the whole affair, especially after he fought that deity of sacrificed dead that was attacking Themyscira.
That was a strange part of the Obsidian Age, though it did make for an amazing scene where the League cut a canal to take water-Aquaman to the sea proper where he powers up big-time..
And takes him out of the equation as a potential threat... Until he gets set loose...
Appropriate. Wonder if he saw a bright light the last time he died?
Ah, hello, Manitou Raven. Standing guard over Gamemnae's bones, I suppose.
A hefty risk, given Balewa might be curious as to how he knew it was Raven, but he could probably claim it was a guess based on information about the ancient league.
And that is the sort of thing that would be enough to drive off lesser men than OL or Balewa.
So, she is at liberty in unlife.
A gesture with some meaning to Raven. To offer friendship even as he is being attacked? He is either wise or brave.
And the Hebrews were an Iron Age culture, but that doesn't stop the Anointed One from being a thing too. Comics Book writers know shit about history, in other news scientists have discovered that fire is hot.
That should say 'He'.
I'm really enjoying Paul's conversations with Balewa. Balewa's ideas are so different from the norm that Paul's own strange ideas are more comprehensible to him.
Wasn't expecting to see Manitou Raven. At least now there's more confirmation on who the big bad is.
I think that when they met him, he mentioned that he was from a previous civilization that eventually evolved into being Aztec.
So how is that Weaponer that Paul deliberately set out to recruit? You know, the guy who genuinely wants and actively works towards the total annihilation of all existence?
Supposedly, he would be from some undefined Mesoamerican culture that eventually progressed to diversify into the Nahuas, just like the Mexicas (aka Aztecs) considered the Toltecs their predecessors.
Nope.
Thank you, corrected.
They're probably technically proto-Aztecs.
Sephtian thought it was, yes.
The Morlocks are the productive members of society. Engineers, labourers and... Farmers. They don't look pretty but they're the ones doing anything worthwhile. It would be easier to fix their diet than get the Eloi to work.
He's fine, thank you for asking. He's also not doing any of that, and is starting to notice.
Does this mean he's going to "act out" or tender his resignation in order to devote more time to universal destruction?
That one actually does more or less work with the original timeline of ~1000 BC, though. It's just particularly egregious with Aztecs, since they emerge in, like, Late Middle Ages, so it would be like Anointed One being a Knight Hospitaller, which is the kind of thing the fic usually lampshades a bit.
What did I do this time?
Probably. Or work some backup project for if his return to the Qwardian world fails to meet his standards. So, a long term project. Remember that Kalmin is a true believer in the Anti-Monitor, and he refuses to be a weapons merchant. I suspect he will not eliminate the peers he has made, but he will do something controversial.
For myself, I suspect that whatever it is, is enough of a stretch that you're unlikely to get in trouble.
...Huh. Now that I think about it, none of the "Meanwhile in universe X" snippets have taken place in an anime setting. At least as far as I'm aware. Honestly kind of interesting. I feel like a version of OL would have an interesting time applying his usual desires for improving places.
For a moment there I thought Paul was going to be self-aware enough to realize he might end up in Kyle's position.
